[2MS-02]【J】Multicellular Dynamics Driven by Cell-Cell Interactions

Thu. Dec 4, 2025 11:15 AM - 12:35 PM JST
Thu. Dec 4, 2025 2:15 AM - 3:35 AM UTC
Room 2(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 3F, 301)
Organizer: Koji Kikuchi (Kumamoto University), Yusuke Mii (Kyoto University)
Tissue structures arise from multicellular dynamics, including morphological changes, migration, and differentiation, guided by tissue-specific developmental programs. These dynamics are driven by biochemical signals and mechanical cues mediated via cell-cell interactions. However, their molecular mechanisms and the diseases caused by their disruption remain unclear. This symposium highlights the latest research on the molecular basis of multicellular dynamics and their role in disease onset.
